Episode 44 of Jonathan Nadeau’s Frostcast podcast series is up and features an interview with yours truly. I think it went fairly well with some discussion about free software, design and some other things. No doubt there will be some criticism about the quality of the guest. After all Jonathan’s been busy interviewing actually important …

As someone who’s interested in design and always looking for good information on the subject, I have happened upon a gem of a resource: The Design Guy podcast. If you’re looking for a wonderfully polished podcast full of great information delivered in succinct and engaging way, look no further. The Design Guy (aka Anthony Rotolo) …

I find the naming of Google’s new open source “Chrome” web browser to be ill-fitting to say the least. I dunno about you, but I associate “chrome” with shiny parts that do little to make things go faster or better – bling for bling’s sake and little more.

Browsing through the Flickr Group of You Look Nice Today (a podcast I’m a recently quite fond of), I came across a Geekiest photo pool. If you are in need of a good and hearty laugh today, just browse that pool of photos. Especially this one posted by Chris Pirillo. Check out his dad’s ‘fro. …

But they’ve been changing that reputation over the past few years. One show …

I suppose it’s cliche to say ‘I never win anything’. But by and large that is true for me. However, this week has been doubly good for me. First, I arrived back home from vacation to find a nice shiny copy of Linux Journal in my mailbox. I won a subscription (as did Mr. Heathenx …

It surprises me when sites make it difficult, if not almost impossible, just to directly download the mp3 of a podcast. Hasn’t everyone received the memo yet?? When I went looking for this podcast interview with Sir Ken Robinson, I found it here in Episode 88 of the MediaSnackers podcast. There’s a nice shiny Odeo …

I’m all tapped out of Linux podcasts at the moment, and it’s always good to know thine enemy. So I listened to the Windows Weekly podcast on my commute home yesterday. It’s amazing that after 10 minutes of talking about how many wrong moves Microsoft has made recently, another 10 minutes of Mac-centric talk, several …
